The rapid chess tournament was held at Hamilton Princess last weekend, with more than 20 participants taking part.

A spokesperson said, “After five intense rounds in one day, the top results were:

First Place: Moses Mufandaedza – 4.5 points

Second Place: Gilbert Cancino – 4.5 points

Third Place: Sami Lill – 4 points

“There were several young players taking part, with the youngest being Dylan Flanagan, age 6.

“Congratulations to all participants. The Hamilton Princess was a great venue to hold this tournament, and we are looking forward to putting on more events soon. We had a good turn out of players across Bermuda, and hope everyone enjoyed the tournament.

“The Bermuda Chess Association will commence regular evenings again next week [after a brief pause, due to renovations], at the regular venue – in the basement of the Bermuda Housing Corporation, 44 Church Street East.

“Tuesday, November 5 will see a unrated blitz tournament, open to all players. Participants need to be present at 7.30pm on Tuesday to play.
